Chapter 66: In Relationship What he said was sincere and reasonable, and Zhu Chongjiu couldn't help but look at it with admiration.
As the saying goes, the stronger the strength, the greater the ambition.
Zhu Chongjiu's own change in mentality is a true portrayal.
Ask yourself, at the beginning of the uprising, his life goals were definitely different from now.
He never thought that one day he would lead everyone to attack Huanglong and establish a relatively fair country.
The temperament of two generations of otaku had a great influence on him at that time.
Even for a long time, he firmly believed that his best destination was to embrace the thick legs of the successful men in history, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Chongba.
But now, everything has changed.
There is no Zhu Chongba in his eyes, and there is no such thing as the founder of the Ming Dynasty.
He had already gotten rid of the historical shadow in his memory and decided to bury the Yuan Empire with his own hands.
His strength, his reputation, and his vision determine these changes.
It can't be stopped, let alone reversed.
In other words, he has become irreplaceable.
Even if he is willing to abdicate and give way to a more talented person, he will hand over the position of Huaiyang General Manager to Zhu Chongba.
Xu Da, Hu Dahai and Wu Liangmou will never agree.
As for Mr.
Su and Lu Zeng, I am afraid that the first thing they will do after hearing the news is to send someone to cut off Zhu Chongba's head so that this person will completely lose the threat to the Huai'an army.
"The soldiers here usually only deal with fighting, and local affairs are left to the civilian officials.
Although the military pay is high, they are not allowed to claim it, let alone eat more and occupy more.
Although the subordinates at all levels are recommended by the commander-in-chief, the final decision-making power belongs to them.
The General Manager's Office.
Also, the commander of the army must be appointed by the General Manager's Office, and the military commanders have no right to refuse."
Because he knew the relationship between ambition and strength, Zhu Chongjiu admired Wang Xuancai more and more.
Just say the ugly things in advance and let the other party think carefully.
"The general was born in the army and doesn't know how to govern the place.
Xu Da and the others can abide by other rules, so there is no reason why the general can't abide by them."
Wang Xuan, however, had already made up his mind and expressed his position in a low voice without even thinking about it.
No matter how the Shandong war ends, the current round of the imperial court's offensive against Huaiyang has completely ended.
Next, at least within the next two years, the Mongolian and Yuan courts did not have the strength to launch a second war of the same scale.
Two years have been enough for the Huai'an Army to grow into a behemoth, and no one can stop its rise.
Wang Xuan is a smart man.
He knows that the Huai'an army has matured, and he also knows that he will never be qualified to compete with General Manager Zhu for the world in this life.
So, instead of having a beautiful dream that does not match your abilities, you wake up with a ruined reputation.
He would rather take off the pillow decisively now and not even give himself a chance to dream.
"I already have five armies under my command.
Even if you join, you will be stationed outside all year round in the future.
It is impossible to stay in Huaiyang for a long time."
In line with the principle of not leaving any regrets, Zhu Chongjiu continued to add with a smile.
"I am willing to serve as a pioneer in the general manager's account and expand the territory of Huaiyang."
Wang Xuan still responded quickly without any hesitation.
"Well, just think about it carefully."
As if to repay Wang Xuan's firmness, Zhu Chongjiu finally nodded lightly, "In this case, the Huang Army can be reorganized into the Sixth Army of Huai'an.
You will be the commander of the Sixth Army.
The headquarters will be located in Jiaozhou.
The command will be Under the envoy, except for the marching commander Shi, you will recommend them yourself."

"I would like to thank General Hongen, General Manager, for being willing to go through fire and water for the General Manager."
Wang Xuan was overjoyed and immediately knelt down.
Then, he remembered that the Huai'an Army had already abolished the kneeling ceremony.
He quickly stood up straight again and awkwardly raised his right hand to his temple.
It's not Zhang Shicheng or Wang Kerou.
Those two people don't understand the true strength of the Huai'an Army at all, let alone the growth rate of the Huai'an Army.
But he, Wang Xuan, had been training as a soldier in Huaiyang for a whole year.
I witnessed with my own eyes how the Huai'an army developed and grew; I saw with my own eyes how the city's appearance was changing with each passing day; I personally calculated the number of artillery pieces that a workshop could deliver every day, as well as the huge profits brought by cement, soap, perfume, etc.
Those are all miracles.
People who have not personally observed them cannot feel the huge pressure they bring.
It can be said that this kind of pressure is simply beyond what humans can resist.
Even if there is a reincarnation of a general on Meng Yuan's side, he will be crushed to pieces sooner or later.
Therefore, Wang Xuan was no longer willing to make any further considerations.
If you join the Huai'an Army now, your life will definitely not be as comfortable as being a prince.
In the future, he will be the founding father of the new dynasty.
But Zhang Shicheng, Wang Kerou and others, even if they finally gave up everything in their hands, they resolutely surrendered.
He will always be an outsider and will never be able to join the direct lineage of the Grand Manager.
Which of the above two endings is better?
In fact, smart people can see clearly immediately as long as they are not seduced by the prosperity in front of them.
"Zhu has gained the general, and he is even more powerful."
Zhu Chongjiu politely returned the standard military salute, and then his voice suddenly increased, "The commander of the Sixth Army, Wang Xuan, listens to the order."
"The general is here."
Wang Xuan answered loudly when he knew that his first test was coming.
"The Sixth Army, from now on, will be expanded into the Sixth Army.
It has four combat brigades and four auxiliary brigades.
Each brigade and its subordinate units adopt a three-three system, and the scale is similar to that of other armies in Huai'an.
You are appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Sixth Army, with the rank of General Dingyuan of the Third Grade.
Military pay and equipment are all provided by the General Manager's Office."
Zhu Chongjiu nodded appreciatively and added loudly.
"Thank you, thank you, Chief Manager."
Wang Xuan was overjoyed, and there were two streams of heat rising up in his eyes.
This was also one of the reasons why he decided to completely surrender to Manager Zhu, knowing how to reciprocate kindness.
Unlike those high-ranking Mongolians and those so-called children of wealthy families, no matter what others did for them, they were taken for granted.
I never think about the other person, let alone know that I will be rewarded for my efforts.
"You don't have to thank me.
From now on, other armies will also be upgraded to legions.
I will also let the workshop work hard to supply weapons and armor.
I will try my best to make a bowl of water even, but the soldiers under your respective command, But you have to recruit them yourself, and you must ensure morale and quality, and you cannot force them."
Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand and continued to add with a smile.
"The general did forcefully recruit people into the army before he defected to the general manager.
After that, the general always strictly abided by the discipline of our Huai'an army and kept it in mind."
Wang Xuan, the governor of the Sixth Army, immediately blushed.
Explained calmly.
"Let him let go of the past and never do it again in the future," Zhu Chongjiu said magnanimously, smiling and waving his hand.
"I'm afraid I will have to fight with Tuotuo a lot before I return to Huai'an.

Before I leave, you can ask me at any time about the construction of the army.
You can also ask Chen Ji and Wu Liangmou.
In short, from now on, , Shandong Road will be left to you.
You can give up Jinan and Yidu, but you must firmly hold all the territory east of Jiaozhou City in my hands."
To the east of Jiaozhou are the three places of Qingdao, Yantai and Weihai in later generations.
The east, south and north sides are surrounded by sea water.
Just keeping the straight line from Laizhou Bay to Jiaozhou Port can ensure everything is safe.
This task is relatively easier than guarding all the Huai'an Army's territory north of the Yellow River.
Wang Xuan felt calm and raised his fingers to his temples again, "The general will never betray the trust of the general manager.
If there is anything wrong, I would rather bring it up to see him."
"Don't be too busy swearing.
The rule of our Huai'an Army is to do things in practice, not just talk about it."
Zhu Chongjiu smiled and continued to teach patiently.
"Before Tuotuo arrives, your first task is to reorganize and expand the army.
Based on the experience I have accumulated in recent times, you can" He grabbed a sharpened charcoal pencil from the desk and began to sketch on the white paper.
He imparted some of his military training knowledge and previous experience in military expansion to the other party without reservation.
After snatching away all the official warehouses in the east and west roads of Shandong, the food problem that had troubled the Huaiyang General Manager's Office for a long time was completely alleviated.
After the Yuan army and the floods gradually receded, Xuzhou, Suzhou, Suiyang and other places also needed to send troops and horses to recover as soon as possible.
In this way, it is inevitable that the Huai'an army will expand again, and there is no need to think carefully at all.
In addition, through the war test some time ago, Zhu Chongjiu also discovered that there were many unreasonable or inconvenient aspects in the Huai'an Army's original organization and firepower equipment.
He needed to discuss it with his generals and seize the time to make up for it.
So, it’s better to do it in one step.
Before the next large-scale attack by the Mongolian Yuan court, the entire Huai'an army was reborn.
It was rare to be given a face-to-face instruction by the general manager, and Wang Xuan listened very carefully.
If you encounter something you don’t understand or have a vague understanding of, ask immediately.
And Zhu Chongjiu didn't think he was stupid.
He broke all the problems into pieces and followed the instructions carefully.
The king and his ministers were chatting, and before they knew it, it was completely dark.
Just as he was about to call it a day and order the food to be served and the soldiers to join the army, Chen Ji, the director of the Enemy Information Division, walked in quickly.
Seeing that Wang Xuan was also there, Chen Ji hesitated slightly.
Immediately, he lowered his voice and reported, "My lord, the brothers who went to Texas to spy on the enemy intercepted Xuexue's soldiers on the road when they returned this afternoon.
They also searched for the suicide note he gave to Emperor Meng Yuan."
"The Book of Destiny" Zhu Chongjiu didn't understand how a guy like Xuexue, who ran away without a fight, had the nerve to write a book of death.
He frowned and asked in a low voice, "Bring me the letter where it is.
Where's Xuexue?
Did your enemy intelligence department find out where he was going?"
"Here" Chen Ji held a thin piece of letter paper in his hands, and then continued to add in a low voice, "He hid in the old forest near Baima Mountain and Lashan Mountain, and collected about 4,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
It seems that , I am planning to wait for Tuotuo to arrive before seeking revenge."
"So few," Zhu Chongjiu asked casually, and then scanned Xue Xue's suicide note.
The writing is good, at least it seems to be more than ten times better than myself, a pig-killer with two lifetimes of memories.
It's just that the wording feels a bit familiar, as if I've recited it before.
"At that time, the total number of forbidden troops and local troops in the city was nearly 40,000.
But when Xuexue fled for her life, she only notified some close generals and staff around her.
She ordered other generals under her command, especially those stationed in local troops The general is very shameless.
So, after escaping our pursuit, these people went to find places to seek refuge, and no one wanted to stay and advance and retreat together with Xuexue."

In the eyes of Chen Ji, a veritable talent, the suicide note written by Xuexue was nothing.
There is no appreciation value at all.
After thinking for a while, he followed his lord's inquiry and added.
"Hey, this guy really can't hold up the wall."
Zhu Chongjiu took a breath of regret and paced back and forth with a frown on his face.
He originally had several plans in mind to provoke Xuexue to deal with Tuotuo.
But after having to fight off the former, the plan basically came to an end. but Suddenly a light flashed in his heart, and Zhu Chongjiu stopped.
He put away Xuexue's suicide note and handed it back to Chen Ji very carefully.
"Your Military Intelligence Department, think of a way to send this letter back to Xuexue.
If his soldiers are not dead, they should also send it back together.
By the way, give him a message for me.
Just.
He said that I have admired him for a long time and hope to find a place to meet him.
If he is willing to come, many things can be discussed in person
